What are tips for giant bee? Tips and strategies for giant bee in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can’t find these on Ragnarok ANYWHERE!!!
Put bug spray on your tame and don't make the mistake I did I had no bug spray and no organic polymer suit and even with a thousand health I still dead don't make that mistake
For those looking for these on the Island:
I found two hives in the footpaw (starting area) entrance to the wilderness on the Island.
I have a problem cuz every time I’m hitting or destroying a hive there’s no bees to attack me and no queen to get out any suggestions? I’m playing on the island if matters
Arb ammo will work in an auto rifle!
The easiest way for me to tame the bee is to get ghille armor on, simple kibble, big repellant and some flame arrows with oil jar. Put the bug repellant on. Throw the oil jar on the hive and shoot it with the flame arrow. It will break the hive. Be sure to get to a distance that they can’t attack you though since some bees will fly toward you. Then put the kibble in your last slot on your inventory bar. Walk up to the queen bee and hit E. I have used other methods and by far this was the easiest. You don’t need high powered weapons or any mounts to kill the hive. Super fast and efficient. Hardest thing was to find a hive. (I did this in Scorched Earth on PC)
Easiest way I've found was sit on a bear and send 2 argy or a powerful flyer to attack nest, if they're overwhelmed by the bees whistle passive and clear out the bees. After the hive breaks put on ghillie and disable follow and usually one rare flower gets you a bee
If you want to transfer the bee off server, Once tamed, before you do anything, activate a cryopod. Walk up to your newly tamed queen, and cryo it. Do not “obtain hive” if you want to cryo it. Once inside a cryopod, it functions like any other tame. Once you get it where you want to go, and want to place your hive, throw the bee out of the cryopod and THEN walk up to it and “obtain hive”. If you cryo your queen bee, she loses her “drones”, but those drones have nothing to do with honey production, they only act as her primary source of “attack” when whistling her to attack an enemy (there are better Dino’s to use for this purpose).
Use a stalker or astrocetus space whale to get up high in the trees of genesis bog to find the hives. Box the hive in against the tree and tame.
Escaping works well by just running for your life
When destroying the nest having a frog/beezlbufo is super useful .
Build a small room around the hive and sneak attack it with a sword/pike...then wait outside until it can be fed. Bee will be stuck inside. Can also build a windowframe and shoot it with arrows
Sometimes... When you tamed them...their "bees" will still enemies and kill their mother who summoned them...(common they wanna attack you first...)
And when you tamed, you can put much things to make them not moveable and use them to attack your enemies with summon bees in auto.(but their never eat any thing before turn to hive.)
On Ab they can get stuck in their own hives since there are multiple stacked on each other. You can still feed them if you get close enough.
To tame one ride a dino, such as an argy, and attack the hive until it breaks then have rare flowers in your last slot and chase the bee and press y. A ghillie suit and bug repellent helps a lot
